OLEARER ROLLER FOR COMBING MACHINES.

Application filed February 26, 1924. Serial No. 695,161.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ROBERT TAYLOR, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Soho Iron Vorks, Oldham, in the county ofLancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in ClearerRollers for Combing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in or relating to means formounting clearer rollers for machines for treating cotton.

It is desirable that the clearer roller of a combing machine fortreating cotton should be suitably mounted in its bearings in suchmanner as to minimize wear and tear and the object of the presentinvention is to provide means for attaining this end.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is an end elevation of a clearerroller mounted according to the present invention and connectedmechanism, and

Figure 2 is a sectional side elevation of one end of the roller.

Referring to the drawings1 represents the roller, 2 represents the usualratchet wheel, 3 represents the pawl, 4 represents the adjustable armcarrying the ratchet wheel 2, and 5 represents the bracket carrying theadjustable arm 4. j a

The end of the roller 1 is provided with a metal hoop or ring 6 pinnedto the roller 1 by means of a pin 7 and the ratchet Wheel 2 is mountedupon a spindle 8 which fits a hole in the roller 1 in the usual manner.

The adjustable arm 4 is furnished with a prolonged boss P whichembracesthe spindle 8 and enters the recess formed by the hoop or ring 6and thus provides a wide bearing for the roller and minimizes wear andtear.

hat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isMeans for mounting the clearer rollers of combing machines comprising arecess of comparatively large diameter in the end of the roller and aprolonged. boss upon the adjustable arm adapted to project into saidrecess in order to give a wide bearing substantially as herein setforth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

ROBERT TAYLOR.
